Once upon a time I wrote here about every movie that I saw. The idea was that I could record them. I added a quip just for the fun of it, and then spent a year writing more in-depth pieces. But, sad to say, I found myself avoiding seeing movies because it meant I would have to write about them, which is hell when you’re Netflix list is hovering about 500.
So, I just stopped. My last post here was a wrap up of movies I’d seen, around last April sometime. Since then I have been keeping track of movies I’ve watched via del.icio.us (under the tags seenIn2006, and seenIn2007). So why write now? A few reasons.
1. KZA left the Hellbox fold, for reasons it seems he doesn’t know himself, and began writing more of his great posts about movies elsewhhere. When he goes long form and gets in depth, he’s at his best, in my view. So, I got inspired.
2. I took part in a neat and nascent awards thing, and was forced to rate the movies I’ve seen in the past year. During the voting, I was writing short blurbs about the movies. I’ve decided that I’ll expand those and write about my top ten here, just for the fun of it.
Look for those coming up over the next week or so, and more info on the awards thing when there is more to share.
Where we saw it: we didn't | We deign to rate it: meta-dope-stuff outta 100First, yay for returning!
Second, I didn't really leave the Hellbox fold. We still have Spitball!, and I'm keeping He Loved Him Some Movies. Except the new blog is about movies. So the old one probably won't be about movies. Except when it is. And I probably won't change the name. Why did I do this again?
Third, yay for balloting! Interested to see what you voted for. My ballot got lost, but luckily was found by a search party, walking in a line with five foot gaps. The ballot was cold and hungry, but unharmed.
